Dr. Schauer/Local support group/PA
Hi, Dawn!
Dr. Schauer is also my surgeon. I live north of Pittsburgh, and I
had my surgery December 17, 2001. I’ve lost 113 pounds so far and
couldn’t be happier that I had my RNY.
I waited a long time for Dr. Schauer to do my surgery, and it was the
best decision I ever made in my life. He is the absolute tops in
every way, personally and professionally. His concern and
consideration for me were a wonder considering how busy he is. He
genuinely cares about his patients and gets a real charge out of
seeing lives change because of his intervention. The nurses who work
in the clinic have all had the surgery as well, so they can relate
and can also be tough on us when the need arises. I called Cheryl
the other day about an illness (I have a virus), and she was so
understanding and encouraging. She made me feel better about my
situation right away.
Congratulations on your progress! If you would like to be on our
local email group or attend a live support group meeting in Grove
City, do contact me.
Regards,
Cheryl Ann Wild
